Ventana Mountain BikesEl Padrino
With its quick and reactive handling and stable platform, El Padrino, the godfather of 29" hardtails, carries out its business on the trail as a professional. Its 29" wheels absorb the violence of the terrain, allowing riders to maintain their cool composure while El Padrino’s climbing traction and lateral stiffness command respect on all fronts.
El Padrino’s riding performance and efficiency in covering ground is just as impressive as its big wheel design is striking. When the terrain gets rough or the ride goes long, you’ll be grateful to have El Padrino on your side

Ventana BikesEl Rey
It’s time to pay homage to the king of the mountain. Forget the polka-dot jersey-El Rey, Ventana’s 29" dual diamond, double butted suspension frame, rules the off-road, giving riders sovereign power over their kingdom of rock and soil. The regal stature of El Rey’s 29" chassis is superbly matched with its 4" quad bearing rear suspension. The stable 29er platform allows for a smooth, controlled ride, and the eminently light and stiff main pivot and shock tabs on El Rey’s full suspension frame deliver swift, responsive action. El Rey is now available in sizes 23" & 25". Long live the king; long live the ride.

Ventana BikesThe Bastard
If not for a snag in the tire supply chain in the formative years of mountain bikes, the 650b (27.5 inch) wheel size might well have taken the place of the standard 26 inch wheel. Smack dab between the standard 26 inch wheel and the monster truck high-rolling 29 inch wheel, the 27.5 inch wheel offers a good mix of big wheel rolling capability and small wheel gearing, suspension clearance, and geometry.
El Bastardo gets 5.5 inches of rear travel, a low bottom-bracket, no compromise all mountain geometry, and Ventana’s legendary lateral stiffness and manufacturing excellence to make it a formidable trail bike. This Bastard’s big wheels, long travel, superb gearing and dialed geometry will leave you grinning and your friends in your wake when you hit the rough.
Rear Shock: Fox RP23

Ventana BikesThe Mutt
Can’t decide between 29 inch and 26 inch wheels? No worries! Get both with Ventana’s 69er, El Chucho, our all mountain attack dog.
The stable handling and big-bump rolling performance of a 29 inch front wheel coupled with the quick acceleration, gearing, and suspension travel afforded by a 26 inch rear wheel, make this 69er the perfect combination for the ultimate trail bike. El Chucho gets a generous dose of Ventana lateral stiffness and features their super low-compression ratio rockers, with 5.5 inches of progressive rear suspension travel to yield a confidence inspiring and versatile package.
Where quick accelerations and cornering are at a premium, a 100mm fork unleashes El Chucho’s fast single-track lineage with aplomb, and a 120mm fork transforms Chucho into a rock hound with a rabid nose for the rough stuff.
